117/r IS MONEY SCARCE*
For the last two years there has been an
almost universal complaint of the scarcity
of money, and the cause of it lias been a
subject of very general discussion. There
are not a few who contend lint the volume
of currency is insufficient for the demands of
trade, and that this is the cause of the strin
gency. That this is not trne, however, may
be shown by the fact that wlicu trade was
very much larger than it has been for the
last, two years, there was no complaint of a
want of currency. When cotton was at a
price worn two to three times as great as
it now is, or lia"; been for the last two or
three years, and requred, therefore, from
two to three times as much to move it as it
now does, there was, nevertheless, an abun
dance of money to pay for it. Our mer
chants, too, will testify that, though they
sold lunch more large’)' then than now,
their collections were never more prompt
or satisfactory. And yet, tlic volume of
c urrency was scarcely larger then than
now, if at alt so. Surely the cause of the
cael senunz.
The part taken by this great German in
the late contest in Ohio brings him .again
prominently before the public. It is said
that to him, more than to any other man,
the result was due. In view of his splendid
abilities, and of bis great influence with his
German fellow-citizens, we are prepared to
believe that tliis is true. Ever since bis
earnest and powerful arraignment of the
administration, some years ago, and his
more recent unanswerable vindication of
the cause of Louiri na and tlie South, we
have regarded him with the highest ad
miration. Born in a foreign land, and edu
cated under a monarchy, his thorough un
derstanding of our Constitution and clear
perceptions of the principles of Republican
government, are nothing less than wonder-
fill. He is a statesman, and of the highest
order. Though advocating th; election of
Gov. Hates, he distinctly stated that he
was no republican, hut that be did Jso be
cause, upon the single issue presented, he
was with that side. Forcing into opposi
tion a champion so formidable, was not the
least of the evils incident to tlie unfortunate
position taken by the Ohio Democrats.
We trust that no more such mistakes will
he made, and that Carl Schurz will yet
identify himself fully with the Democratic
party.

Richmond, Oct. 23.—The remains of
Gen’l. Geo. C. Pickett reached this place to
day at noon, from Norfolk, in charge of a
committee from that city, Petersburg and
Richmond. They were met at the depot by
a number of prominent citizens, and quickly
escorted to the Capitol, where they will re
main in state until to-morrow afternoon,
when they will be taken in charge of the
veterans of his division and other officers
and men of the Confederate Army and Navy,
the military of Richmond, including the cols
ored troops, who have asked to be allowed
to participate in honoring the deceased ; civ-
if societies, &c., and escorted to Hollyrood
Cemetery for interment.
The preparations for the ceremonies on
Tuesday next in honor of tho unveiling of
the Stouewall Jackson statue are progres
sing most extensively, and indicate that the
demonstration will bo one of the grandest,
if not the grandest ever witnessed in Rich
mond. It is estimated that the population
of Richmond on that day will be nearly, if
not quite, doubled. Military and civil organ
izations from different portions of the State,
as well as outside, have signified their in
tention ofbeing present, and the colored
military of the city in this case, as in that
of Gen. Pickett’s obsequies, have asked and

be assigned a position in the grand pa

SECOND DISPATCH.
TRIUMPH OF AN ATHENS ARTIST.
Macon, Oct. 22.—Athens receives quite
an art triumph, through its photographer,
not and must not cotne i
in the great National contest of 1876. That ■ yralui UlIlne i through Church Hill, costing
the issue made then must be fliirly and : a balf million of dollars, had to lie cut.
squarely for reform of government, for bon-1 Well, it is an easy matter to build railways,
currency.
In answer, then, to the question, Why ia
money scarce ? we answer, it is because pro
ducers have not been able to realize from
tlioir products enough to pay for what they
have bought. Therefore, they are not only
without money themselves, but their creditors
also have fallen behind. This, we humly
conceive, is the true reason why there is so
little money among the people.
But why have producers not been able
to realize enough to meet their obligations?
We answer, because, by the panic of two
years ago, which originated— notin the South,
but in the North—prices were reduced to a
point far below what producers anticipated,
when their own indebtedness was created.
It is universally conceded that the panic
wap caused by reckless speculation at the
money centres of the North; and we think
it would not bedifficult to show that it was the
very abundance of currency that gave rise to
speculation. The very fact that there was
more than the wants of legitimate trade re
quired, constituted the temptation to specu
late.
In tlie meantime, confidence has been
shaken, money is hoarded, and prices do
not react; and the only safe course for pro
ducers, which constitute the great body of
our people, ts the practice of thrift and
economy. Let none be duped into the
error that relief is to come through any ar
tifice of legislation.
TRE LESSOR OF THE OHIO ELECTION
There is no good sense in trying to diss
guise facts. It is the part of wisdom to look
at them as they are, and to consider them
with calmness and impartiality. It may not
always be pleasant to do this, but there can
be no doubt that it is the best.
That the Democratic party has suffered a
serious reverse in the late Ohio election, it
is useless to deny. The majority against it
was not luge, - it is true, considering the very
large vote that was cast, but to an army in
the full tide of victory, even a check canuct
but be regarded as serious, if for no other
reason than the loss of prestige which it in
curs. The splendid and almost uniform sue
cess of the patty, for & year or two before,
had inspired it with enthusiasm, and had
proportionately disheartened the hosts of the
enemy. Ohio itself had been the field of
one of its victories f and ito standard bearer
then was again its chosen leader. , Under
circumstances like these, it should have
achieved a majority numbering in thousands
what it bad before wanted in hundreds!.—
Less than this were, scarcely a victory at all.
How, then, shall we characterize the actual
result? Have we put the ease too strongly
in:pronouncing it a serious resorts?
! What, now, is the lesson to he learned ?
Even disaster may be turned, by wisdom,
to good aocoant; and if the Teccnt reverse
be regarded in. the light of a timely warn
ing, it may yet provo to have been of 'real
cst officials; aga'nst corruption, against Cnes-
arism and against centralism. Well, that is
one lesson learned. But when wc think
that we have the jewel fast in our posses
sion, lo! the toad is not dead—lie was only
stunned. He wiggles around, and his ven
omous body seems galvanized anew.
Another question springs up, which,
though at first appeared insignificant and un
important enough, now assumes alarming
pioportions ; and that is, this Catholic ques
tion, which, it seems, was no minor consid
eration in the Ohio election.
This is now attracting attention all over
the United States , the press are ventilating
themselves upon it; President Grant avows
this antagonism to the “ Catholic encroach
ments,” as he terms them, and the question
is rapidly creeping into the Democratic par
ty. The danger is held up as imminent nnd
alarming, and consequently is exciting the
whole country, irrespective of party; and
even the probability of a religious war is in
timated. Thus, will the Republican par
ty endeavor to slip in another side issue,
which like the currency one, is not a ques
tion of the day. They will, of course, come
squarely out on a free school and anti-Cath-
olic platform, divert the Democratic mind
from their grand aim of reform, and divide
the National party as they did the State fac
tion in Ohio.
And wc are sorry to say that even this
artifice will be very efficacious, unless this
religious question is crushed in the very
beginning. Now, as upon the currency, so
upon this Catholic issue, wc have our views,
which we would unhesitatingly and unflinch
ingly utter should the time arrive when the
question becomes a practical one; or should
the Catholic clement, or any religious cle
ment endeavor to destroy and pervert the
wms and effects of free schools or other in
stitutions, for sectarian purposes. Bat
we contend that the question is not now
a practical or an imminent one. We doubt,
and wff certainly do not hope, that it will
ever be. The time has come, indeed, for
the political revolution, bnt God forbid that
wc be disturbed now, or ever be afflicted
with the horrors of a religions feud.
Let the grand main object, then, of Reform
be kept dearly before ns, and let the Cen
tennial of American Independence find us
fighting for honest, upright government,
rather than convulsed or racked with dis
sensions and bickerings of relgions sect,

among the whites than that peace should be

of these companies should he deposited in

would not be delivered to the militia ex

could not be suppressed by the civil author
ities.
